The 2024 Great Lakes regional side-by-side season has been launched with the completion of the 2024 Gentlemens cup event.
Unbelievably, 112 shooters showed up (most ever)!
It seemed a good time was had by all.
All the essential ingredients were there, with a few additional improvements, leaning into the future.
Easy online registration.
Smooth registration process at the clubhouse sign in table.
Good parking management.
Modest price.
100 targets, $50.00 including lunch.
And most importantly, a cool, but dry day to play outside.
The eventual (but not unexpected) trap break downs were addressed about as fast as they could be, with a MEC rep on site for the unexpected stuff. And a dedicated team of volunteers to keep carousels full, and weak batteries replaced.
The 2024 Great Lakes regional shooting season looks to be a very busy one, with 6 to 8 upcoming events scheduled throughout the region.
I haven’t seen that many in 30 years, and I was blown away that 100+ shooters showed up Saturday with the intention of enjoying their shotguns.
That is incredible, and portends good things (I hope) for lovers of vintage sxs shotguns going forward.
It looks to be a busy summer for the SxS crowd around Michigan.
Well done Don !
